Did he know the spot price of oil?

Former Cuban
President Fidel Castro, 88, appeared in public "full of vitality" for
the first time in more than a year on Monday, greeting a delegation of
Venezuelans, official media reported on Saturday.

Official
media showed images of a seated Castro shaking hands with the visiting
Venezuelans through the window of his vehicle, wearing a baseball cap
and a windbreaker.

Carrying on the tradition.

Castro
impressed the Venezuelans with a firm, long handshake and a lucid mind,
the newspaper Juventud Rebelde reported in a writer's first-person
account.

Castro relayed "multiple details about life in Venezuela,
especially now that this great nation has become the bull's eye for
imperial greed," the report said, in apparent reference to U.S.
sanctions on Venezuela that declared the South American nation a national security threat.
